Some seem obsessed with church. I guess you have noticed. Others are equally obsessed with not caring for it. Each is permitted to have strong opinion.
Sometimes the concept of church is misunderstood; even by the churched.
The Bible talks about the church being the body of Christ. What is that all about? Simply that Jesus left earth having resurrected from the dead and he sent his Holy Spirit to dwell within believers called the church. The church is to be Jesus in our shoes in every community.
But so many in the neighborhood are poor examples, you want to blurt?
And, you would be right on target in most instances.
Jesus picked nothing but poor examples to be his disciples. James and John argued over who could sit at the head of the table. When Jesus declared that he must die, Peter was in his face with correction. Jesus selected a motley crew to be church leaders.
The poor examples in your community are simply messengers of God saying that you would fit in perfectly. The apostle Paul told that he was the chiefest of sinners. Paul never met me. I would be the worst in any church any place.
Church: who needs it? Every person who is tired of doing life on his own. Every person who has figured by now she cannot save herself. Every person who wishes to do better; but finds the doing tougher than anticipated.
Every person; that’s who.
